All living things have secrets, and I will master every last one of them.
The Devourer of Knowledge, the Blackened Hunger, and the Wasting Mind, Nevacar was born with a rapacious appetite for the knowledge of the world. It was this gluttony that first drew Adrestus, the God of Knowledge, to bestow their divine blessing upon Nevacar. For all the wisdom and intelligence that Adrestus commanded, they could not see into the future.
With Adrestus’ blessing, Nevacar absorbed the unholiest, darkest secrets of the world, and transformed himself into the First Voidborne, an immortal vestige of dark magic. Nevacar was struck down. The price of his ambition: his life. Yet it took more than even the gods to truly kill a Voidborne.
Nevacar lives! And he hungers evermore.
Apperance. Nevacar typically appears in visions or in dreams as a swirling mass of inky, purple-black darkness. Rarely, he will appear as a darkened shadow, imitating the form of someone close to the dreamer or oracle.
Nevacar’s domains are DARKNESS and SHAME & SECRETS.
DARKNESS: The Darkness that Nevacar commands is no regular darkness, no simple lack of light nor shadow beneath one’s feet. Nevacarian Darkness, as it is often called, is an all-consuming and all-subsuming substance capable of ripping the deepest of thoughts, the darkest of secrets, from even the gods themselves.
SHAME & SECRETS: From harmless words discussed in private, to confidential information that could topple a nation or an uneasy alliance, to a past shameful history now silenced and sealed, and to arcane mysteries kept hidden, these all dwell within the consuming domains of Nevacar. Nevacar, who seeks to untangle the web of secrets surrounding Auria, revealing the truths hidden deep within the origins of the world he once inhabited.
A Fragile Thing, Trust. Nevacar approaches one of the party members in a dream, and reveals to them that one of their allies is withholding a vital and dangerous secret.
A Haunted Past. A player character or NPC is haunted by their terrible past, which Nevacar never lets them forget. It haunts them every day and in almost every moment.
“Secrets are strength. Hide yours, and hold others’.”
“Fear not the Darkness, for you should instead fear the Light.”
“Hoard your knowledge, and share none.”
